Is Vista Ready Boost Always Ready
Bought a 4 GIG SD Memory Card, but discovered that my Digi. Camera is not compatible with HC6, so I thought my Vista setup might as well benefit from it and it does.
My question is, as the card is useless to me in any other way can I leave it connected to a USB port, or do I have to remove it and plug it in again next time I boot up for Vista to recognize and enable it.

Your answer here maybe ....

Note that a 4Gb SD card is SDHC - SD High Capacity. As such you would need a card reader capable of reading SDHC cards. I ran into this problem with a 4GB card purchased for my Canon G9 - my existing reader was not compatible with SDHC and had to be replaced.

Leave it plugged in if you think it improves your machine's performance.

It didn’t do much for me. Perhaps we can compare results. I tried my Jan 2005 Crucial Gizmo 1GB drive and it reads at 2939KBs and writes at 3790KBs.

The speeds are stored in a registry key:
Go to the Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt and click on your device.

HI Guy's, thanks for the reply's. Pete funny you should say that, when I first picked up the 4 Gig Card and like you say it did not work in my Camera nor did it register on the PC I had taken it back to the shop claiming it was faulty. Got a new one took it home same thing, then slowly I started to wake up and bought a new reader, all is ok now.
BurrWalnut I might do that when I feel confident, in general I steer away from the Registry.

You're not changing anything in the registry, just viewing a key.

If you are nervous about accidentally typing something, create a system restore point first.
